NEW Electronic Filing Requirement

Effective 01/01/17, the North Carolina General Statutes for Campaign Finance were
updated and electronic filing became mandatory for all committees that raise or
spend $10,000.00 or more in an election cycle.

The Campaign Finance division of Bipartisan State Board of Elections and Ethics
Enforcement has created a document to assist candidates meeting this threshold
with the new electronic filing requirements. The document contains information
pertaining the new requirement, as well as an FAQ section.
